Support the arts!

Alright, so Taki's little sister Katie's new novel The Longshot is available for pre-order on Amazon. com. Click here to preorder. We are so proud of her, she is amazingly talented and is already receiving accolades and it isn't even out yet! An avid MMA fan herself, she has written numerous journalistic pieces for a host of newspapers and magazines over the last few years on the subject. With first hand understanding of the sport and an empathy and fascination for the fighters themselves she has delved into the competitive world of fighting as the backdrop of her book. I can't wait to read it!

If those hands look familiar it is because they belong to Taki. He can now officially add "professional hand model" to his roster of achievements! Our good friend Jon Agcaoili shot the photo and Dan Wysuph actually tattooed the name of the book on Taki's knuckles. How's that for supporting your baby sister! The whole event was documented in this video,
